Three Killed On 
Railway Crossing 
Near Red Deer 


Riilroad crossing accidents con- 
tinue to demand headline space in 
the daily newspapers, The latest 
such fatality occurred Sunday mor- 
ning last at 8:30 0’clock on across- 
ing three miles north of Rid Deer, 
when three members of a North- 
bank, (near St. Paul) Alberta fatni- 
ly were killed by a C P.R. south- 
bound passenger train. The dead 
are John Ferrence, 59,and his wife, 
59, and Mary Ferrence, 19, their 
daughter-in-law who were riding in 
the rear seat of the fatal sedan car. 
The latter’s husband, Jack Fer- 
rence, 28, andhisbrotherSam, 21, 
are in the Red Deer hospital, the 
former, the driver of the car, ina 
serious condition. 

Both train and automobile were 
travelling south and according to 
the engineer of the train, which 
Wa3 travelling between 60 and 70 
miles per hour at the time, there 
are trees on either side of the croas- 
ing For some distance the road 
and railway run parellel, but then 
the roi! turns east and west to 
mike the crossing. At the time of 
th: assident a violent thunderstorm 
Was raging.

Sixth Fortnight 
Dept. Crop Report 


Cutting of wheat will start carly 
next week and will be fairly gener- 
ala week Jater ina number of dis- 
tricts in the province, according to 
telegraphic reports received Friday 
last by the Department of Agricul- 
ture for the sixth crop report of the 
season. Winter wheat cutting is 
well under way in the south part of 
the province anda very s ttisfactory 
yield is reported. A good crop 
of spring wheat isalso ripening and 
will yield as high as 80 bushets per 
acre in some southern districts. 


As the result of continued dry 
weather and hot winds during the 
past two weeks the prospective 
yield, particularly througout the 
central part of the provinee, has 
suffered a further reduction. The 
wheat crop especially has been af- 
fected and much of the grain is so 
short in the straw that it eannot be 
harvested satisfactorily by the or 
dinary methods. The Department 
fof Agriculture, however, is demon- 
strating ata number of points in 
| thisarea abinderattachment which 
will make it possible to save practi- 
cally all of this short grain, and 


lmany farmers are adopting this 
system with very satisfactory re 
sults. Anexplanation in detail of

ular livestock and grain show, the 
horticultural exhibits, faney work 
and domestic science exhibits, there 
will be horse races. a country base-

young nnd old, 

This event isa valuable feature | 
for the strengthening of the live-

the district in doing his or her 
share will help to make Didsbury’s 
big vearly event a success, This is 
one of the main asset& to the dis-

Short Sinn Cron 
Present Difficulties 


The short-strawed crop found at 
| many points in the province this year 
| has brought many farmers face to 
face with the problem of how best to 
| save the crop they have, They are 
anxious to save what feed they can 
'and also to secure every possible 
| bushel of grain and that without un- 
due expenditure for equipment, which 
may be of little use in average sea- 
sons, 

As a result of this condition active 
steps are being taken by the Dept. | 
of Agriculture to meet the situation, | 
jand the following announcement will | 
be of great interest to farmers who; 
are faced with this problem, | 
The ordinary grain binder is but 
| poorly adapted to the harvesting of 
such crop. Some of the cut grain is 
lost in elevatings and more by the] 
time it passes the packers; sheaves 
are poorly bound or not bound at all 
| with the result that much of the grain 
is lost in handling. To overcome the 
drawbacks of the binder for harvest- 
ing such grain, the header has been 
invented and is now used extensively | 
in some districts, but since the present 
conditions are not likely to he soon re 
peated, the purchase of headers would | 
not be justified. It is possible, how- | 
ever, to make certain changes in the 
binder at low expense that will enable | 
it to do similar work to that done by 
| the header, Such changes are out!ined 
below: 


First remove the sheaf carrier and 
binder parts and the idle roller. An 
| extension elevator is then added to 
{the ordinary elevator, so that instead 
j}of using only one elevator canvas 
| three are employed. The front and} 
| rear sides of the extension are built 
| 
| 
| 


similar to the original elevator. The 
drive is from the upper rollers of che 
extended elevator. This drive is se- 
j cured by bolting to the upper front 
end of the extended elevator another 
| gear assembly like the one on the 
upper front of the short elevator, The | 
two gear assemblies are connected by | 
a square rod with a universal joint at | 
}each end, It will be found necessary 


}in the upper gear assembly to key|

Building of Bay Like May Be But : 


Start of Railway Development in 
Rich Mineral Districts of North 


The golden spike that will be driv- 
en next month in commemoration of 
the completion of the Hudson Bay 
Railway inspires a vision of future 
practicalities in Sir Henry Thornton 
of the Canadian National Railways, 
in an article in the Saturday Even- 
ing Post. He paints a picture of 
contrasts. He looks back upon the 


setbacks: 


“For years the line lay uncom- 
pleted, eroding, its roadbed sunk s0 
deep in places that the rails jutted 
forth like steel tentacles. Men have 
fought blizzards, loneliness, the rig- 
ors of sub-Arctic winter to complete 
it, that there may be a new outlet 
to Europe, entailing a shorter rail 
haul, and, strangely enough, a shoert- 
er ocean voyage than from any other 
port on the continent. It is a land 
of Eskimos and pioneers now.” 

But what does Sir Henry see pinn- 
ed to the northland when that golden 
spike is driven? 

“I believe there may be a time 
when great hotels wili rear them- 
selves at Fort Churchill, the termin- 
us, to accommodate the tourists who 
have sailed up the eastern coast, 
along the fringe of Labrador and 
through Hudson. Strait; 
down through a bay that was once 
the roving ground of that romantic 
aggregation known as the Gentlemen 
of Adventure; at 1 


and proceed home with the 
comfort of most civilized travel. 
The Hudson Bay line will be given 
a terminus at Churchill, but that will 
not be the end of the railway... “A 


every 


railroad,” says Sir Henry, “is never 
finished.” It has to grow with the 
development it starts. Who dare pre 
dict the scope of the development 
that will gather wings to put to flight 
the little sweep that already has 
proved the northland to be a region 
of riches? What has been revealed 
before the golden spike has been 
driven is barely a lifting of the cur- 
tain upon the great drama that will 
be played in the vast hinterland of 
Manitoba, Qther

Farmers Help Themselves 


| Establishing Grain Industry On a 
| Sound Economic Basis 

| “While much is said in regard to 
| the rapid development of Canadian 
| industries, very few people at the 
| present time realize the tremendous 
| efforts the farmers of Western Can- 
ada are making to establish the in- 
‘dustry of grain growing on a sound 
econornic basis and under full con- 
‘trol of the growers themselves,” 
says an article in the “Vancouver 
Sun” of June 18, 1929. ‘Every move 
made by the Pool is based on souna 
business principles, the object being 
to secure for the grain grower the 
‘last possible cent for his grain. The 
idea behind the Pool is centralized 
j and continuous control of the grain 
| delivered to the organization, which 
amounts to over half the total deliy- 
| ered to country elevators, and the 
| members are devoted to the Pool, as 
they look upon it as being their sole 
hope of achieving a place “in the 
scheme of things to which their toil 
entitles them.”

Rust Resisting Wheat 


Three Varieties Of Wheat Which 
Will Withstand All Known 
Kinds of Rust 
Two or three varieties of wheat 
which will resist rust have been de- 
veloped by the department of agri- 
culture, it was stated-by Dr. J. H. 
Grisdale, deputy minister of the de- 
partment. The experiments have 
been conducted for seme years, but 
the stage has now been reached when 
it can be stated with considerable as- 
surance that success is near at hand. 

“Our experiments this year con- 
firm the earlier prospects,” said Dr. 
Grisdale. ‘No names have yet been 
given the new varieties and it will 
be two or three years before they 
can be produced in sufficient quan- 
tities for seed distribution, but we 
feel confident that we have the kind 
now that will resist the known varl- 
eties or rust. It is to be remembered, 
however, that one rust will cross an- 
other and evolve a new kind, but the 
wheai 


grades discovered by careful 
rch withstand them all. The 
annual damage done by rust is enor- 
mous, so the evolution of a wheat 
which will be unaffected by it is of 
incalculable 


res 


advantage. In rust 
earch we claim to lead the world.”

Problems 


from Alberta's oil 
fields, loss from fermentation and 
; Other problems of the Canadian 
honey industry and “the iodine con- 
tent, and control of iodized salts in 
| Canada,” will be investigated by the 
| National Research Council. Decis- 
ions to undertake this new work, in 
addition to the 100 or more other 
problems now under investigation, 
were made at a council meeting here. 

All parties actively engaged in 
secking a solution of the Alberta gas 
problam, which includes a wastage 
of 100,000,000 cubic feet per day, 
will be represented on the associate 
committee of the council that will 
probably hold its first meeting in Ed- 
monton early in October, Dr. Chas. 
Camsell, deputy minister and other 
representatives from the Dominion 
Department of Mines; Dr. G. 5S. 
Whitby, professor of chemistry at 
, McGill University; representatives 
of the University of Alberta, who 
have given considerable study to the 
situation and Dr. H. M, Tory, chair 
man of the National Council, will be 
included in the personnel. 

Work on honey has already been 
started in co-operation with the Do- 
minion Department of Agriculture at 
the request of the industry and will 
be further advanced by an associate 
committee appointed at the meeting. 

Iodine in salt was brought to the 
attention of the council by the Cana- 
dian Chemical Association, and the 
Canadian Medical Association, the 
declaration of the former being that 
‘it is not yet certain that the indis- 
criminate use of iodized salt is en- 
tirely beneficial to public health.

Origin Of the Word “Hlumbug” 

Few people who use the word 
so glibly, realize that it 
Is a corruption of the name of a 
well-known German port, But years 


ago, when wars were common on the 


continent, so many false reports 
came from Hamburg that people 
used to say sceptically, “That is 


Hamburg! So ‘Hamburg’ became 


corrupted into “humbug.” 

Growing Use Of Water Power 
the use of 
is shown by 


The steady 


water power in 


the facts that the average annual 


rate of increase in development since 


1925 has been 0.7 per cent, and that 
the development now amounts 
to 5554 installed turbine horse-pow- 
er per 1,600 of population

BOORS ALL 

A reasoning being can usually find 
answers to his own questions, but 
there is one that stumps a!l. Why is 
it that motorists forget all etiquette 
and the rudiments of courtesy when 
they get behind a steering wheel? 

It is not polite to swear at the din- 
ing table if the butter isn't passed 
the instant it is asked for. And al- 
most everybody employs the polite 
“Pardon me” in pedestrian jams and 
crowded elevators. But get the same 
people in the driver's seat and there 
is loud honking and a cussword or two 
if the car ahead stops too suddenly or 
fails to start soon enough. 

Seldom does one meet a driver on 
the 
inch to the other fellow and surrender 
his right-of-way to convenience other 
cars, It is everybody for himself and 
curses upon the other fellow even 
though his faults and transgressions 
are your own. 

Motorists spurt around corners with- 
out regard for the safety and hearts 
of others; cars cross and halt sudden- 
ly in front of others without giving 
warning, and, instead of taking acci- 
dents calmly and assuming one’s fair 
share of the blame, drivers and pas- 
sengers strive to see which can out- 
yell and out-cuss the other. Why is 
politeness left behind or forgotten by 
most drivers the minute they step in- 
to their car? 

Once an individual expert in the art 
of cussing was said to “swear like a 
trooper.” “He swears like a traffic 
policeman” or “he swears like a mo- 
torist in a traffic jam” are similes in 
common usage. Did the motorist get 
his education from the traffic officer, 
or the traffic officer get his from the 
motorist? 


HAVE YOU PASSED 

On Saturday night the High School 
examination reports began to arrive, 
and the students have been watching 
each incoming mail with trepidation. 
No one who has gone through the 
ordeal of opening the fateful envel- 
opes or the newspaper contdining re- 
ports, will ever forget it. A trip to 
the dentist with an aching tooth, or 
the first plunge into cold water, have 
some elements of the sensation, but 
not so acute. Sheer panic descends 
upon the victim. He holds the paper 
in trembling fingers, knowing that the 
iudement on a year of work lies there- 
in. From a comfortable feeling of 
optimism he sinks suddenly to a con- 
viction that he could not possibly have 
made it. Has he passed on one soli- 
tary subject? There is nothing to do 
but find out. So he opens the en- 
One by one he checks his 
marks, Relief, surprise, disappoint- 
ment wait him in those potent figures. 
And his next sensation is one of jubi- 
lation or woe according to the mark- 
ings, 

So much hapgs upon this yearly 
record! Whether or not he will return 
to school, Whether he will be received 
with warmth by approving friends, or 
be scowled upon for a failure. Whe- 
ther he will be able to go on to new 
adventures, or be burdened al! holidays 
with exams to be written in the fall. 

The waiting for exam results is a 
black cloud over holiday time for 
young people. Their elders are past 
this stage, and are liberal in giving 
advice and reproof, 

But examinations for older people 
might be reasonable too. Just what

WHAT OTHER EDITORS 
ARE SAYING 


SHOULD HAVE MORE 
- PUBLIC OPERATION 

The Advocate has its serious doubts 
as to the absorption of so many town 
utilities, and the institution of so 
many town utilities, by the Calgary 
Power C», Not alone has it purchased 
{a number of electric light plants, as 
well as supplying “juice” wholesale as 
at Red Deer, but it is also dealing in 
regard to water service plants as at 
Camrose, Wetaskiwin, Lacombe, and 
other towns, and it may tackle sewer 
systems. 

Ontario, a province one hundred 
years older, has its municipalities and 
government in control of electric light 
and power, water services, sewer ser- 
vices, street railways, etc., all except 
the telephones, which came in from 
the States. 

The Advocate had not much sym- 
pathy with the sale of the Alberta 
northern railways to the transcontin- 
ental roads, but that may have some 
defence in order to tie them up with 
the transcontinental roads. Now that 
the province is relieved of 25 millions 
of railway liability, it could well afford 
to buy out the Ca'gary Power Co., and 
assist the municipalitics in establish- 
ing and maintaining their utilities. 
The district hospital system, under 
public control, has been a good thing 
for the province, bar one or two mis- 
takes, The gospel of public control 
and public operation is bound to grow 
increasingly, even if we do not see so 
| much of it in our generation because 

of the increasing!y established private 
institutions, and because of the multi- 
tude of trade control private corpora- 
tions in retail and wholesale trade, in 
manufacture, and in banking. The co- 
operative and pool systems work out a 
great measure of public control in the 
productive field, but there is room for 
a lot more of public control and opera- 
tion in the distribution and service 
field.—Red Deer Advocate.

The Singing Fool

SYNOPSIS | 

Marcus, the famous Broadway pro- 
ducer, heads a party of four that 
visits Blackie Joe’s night club in 
downtown New York. Al Stone, 
Blackie’s chief comedian and singing 
waiter, begs Molly, the ballad singer, 
to render a love song he has just 
written for her. Molly is disdainiu: 
and refuses even to read the song. 
Al is in love with her but she tells 
him harshly that she will never 
marry a waiter, Then she leaves 
her dressing room and goes to the 
Marcus tabile, trying to ingratiate 
herself with the famous producer. 
Al is in despair, Grace, the cigarette 
girl, who loves Al and wants to seo 
him happy, asks him what is the 
matter. | 


CHAPTER V. 
“Nothing's the matter, kid,’ said 


Al, making a show of throwing oft 
his depression. But his wan smile 
belied his words. 

Grace gazed hopefully up into his 
face. Her expression said .plainly 
that if he would only confide in her 
she was sure she could help him. | 


Slowly he studied her young, sen- |} 
sitive features. She was an awful-| 
ly sweed kid, undoubtedly, and he! 
liked her, but— 

At that moment someone else ar- 
rived to interrupt his thoughts. 
Blackie, all excitement, entered the! 
corridor, calling out: 

“Get ready Al—you're on next!” 

Al turned lack-lustre eyes toward 
Blackie. Then, suddenly, a plan! 
that had been forming vaguely in! 
his mind ever since Molly's harsh 
exit, took definite shape. 
himself up and said quietly: 

“Blackie, I'm quitting tonight.” 


| 
He drew 


Blackie* retreated a step as if he) 
had been struck, while a little cry 
of amazement escaped .Grace. Her 
hand went to hey mouth in a quick 
gesture of apprehension, Blackie 
was the first to recover himself. j 

“Don't be a fool, Al,” he said ear-| 
nestly, putting a hand on his sing- 
ing waiter's shoulder. You've got; 
a good job here and a _ following 
among the customers. You can't 
quit off-hand like this — why, it 
wouldn't be fair to me or to your- 
self.” 

Al nodded slowly. Yes, he had 
thought of that. But there were 
other things to be considered. 

“You won't miss me,” he suggest- 
ed. ‘You've got lots of talent. And 
I simply couldn't sing a comic song 
tonight —it’s impossible the way I 
feel, And Blackie—I don't want to 
be a waiter any more. I want to 
write. The waiter racket will never 
get me anywhere—-I know it!" |

Al's vehemence increased as the} 
words poured from his mouth. He} 
saw his way clearly now—he would| 
leave this place and never see Molly | 
again. That was the only way to, 
solve his problem, Suddenly his sense 
of reserve was lifted from him; he! 
determined to give Blackie his com-| 
plete reason. 

“The only reason I've hung on 
here;” he exclaimed passionately, | 
“was to be near her! She's turned | 
me down and—it hurts. She's the! 
only person in the world I want, 
and without her Well, you 
can ‘see now why I can't stay.” 


His voice trailed off at his con-! 
cluding words and his shoulders 
sagged hopelessly. Blackie nodded. 
Again his hand rested comfortingly | 
on Al's shoulder. He could see how 
vitally this affected his prize singing 
waiter—-why, the boy's whole world} 
had been turned upside down? 

“Molly —eh ?"" 

Al's head came up at the mention) 
of the beloved name. He nodded. 

“I wrote her a song -a love song. | 
I poured my heart into- it because it 
was for her. I wanted her to sing 
it, so she'd know how I felt toward! 
her, but do you know what she did?) 
She wouldn't even look at it; she 
I found the song- 
sheet here on the floor where she| 


Al glanced down at- his hand, | 
which still held the crumpled ballad. | 
; There was nothing more for him to, 
say now; Blackie understood at last. | 

If Al’s explanation of his sudden 
decision astonished Blackie, it pro- 


duced reactions that were much} 


| 


| had walked on it.” 


little Grace. She was not only hurt! 
because Al was hurt, but, for the 
first time, resentment flamed up in 
her toward Molly. How could Molly, | 
who was able to put such a wealth 
of feeling into the rendering of a 
ballad, act in such an unfeeling way 
toward Al? 

_ Grace's slim white fingers pressed 
hard against the sides of her cigar- 
ette tray until the skin went white. 
A sudden wave of passionate anger 
toward the other girl swept over her; 
she wanted to turn, rush into the 
main room, and upbraid Molly for 
her heartlessness. Keen-eyed Grace 
knew that Molly had left Al to go 
to the Marcus table. She knew Molly 
was trying to worm her way into the} 
good graces of the producer. 

Then the anger passed as quickly 
as it came, while an expression of! 
tender sadness crossed Grace's face. 
She realized that these admissions| 
of Al's meant that she could never} 
mean anything to him, never have a 
chance to help him, They meant that 
he would pass out of her life com- 
pletely, perhaps within a few mo- 
ments. She felt tears welling up in 
her eyes, but she bravely fought 
them down.. 

By this time a plan was emerging

in Blackie's mind. to aid his singing 
waiter. After all, Al was his friend 
as well as his star performer in the 
floor show, and he wanted to do him 
a good turn if he could. 

“Why don’t you read your song to 
Molly” he suggested, with assumed 
carelessness.. 

“She won't listen,’ Al answered. 
“To her I'm only a waiter — a mug!” 

“Then why don't you sing it to 
her?” continued Blackie, springing 
his idea. ‘“She’s out there now -— 
she'd have to listen.” 

Al shook his head. “I can't sing 
it. It’s a love song—a ballad. You 
know I've never been able to sing 
the heart-throb stuff. That's not 
my line. I'm a comic.” 

“You haven't sounded so

“No, I've never tried one on the

Gould he might be able to touch 
Molly’s heart, as Blackie suggested. 

Little Grace watched anxiously the 
| play of expression on Al's face, She 


saw clearly what Blackie was driv-| 


ing at before Al saw it, and she 


hoped desperately that he could pre-| 


vail on Al to try the song. If the 
words touched Molly's heart at least 
Al would be happy, which would 
make Grace happy. 

“I'll do it,’’ he said finally, with 
a gesture of decision. “I'll show} 
her I'm something better

“You'd better make your entrance

When Blackie disappeared Grace 
also vanished down the _ corridor. 
But as Al came out into the main 
room a moment later he heard his 
name called. Grace slipped over to 
his side, looked up into his face with 
a forced, wistful smile and whis- 
pered: 

“T'll be rooting for you, Al!”

American Chemical Society Told 
Gasoline Can Be Made From 


Trees 


Gasoline made from trees is an- 
nounced in a report to the American 
Chemical Society by Dr. Jacque C. 
Morrell and Dr. Gustav Egloff of 
Chicago. 

They have produced an anti-knock 
motor fuel from the tar in the Doug- 
las fir. While this fuel now is in the 
laboratory stage, the report says it! 
can he made in commercial quanti- 
ties from present wood waste. 

“The development of a practical 
and economic means of converting! 
wood waste into motor fuels,” says! 
the report, “has a deeper significance | 
than the immediately important fac-| 
tor of conservation—it provides a} 
source of motor fuels for the future} 
which is under the direct control of 
man, 

“Our great storehouses of potential 
motor fuel from petroleum, coal and 
oil shales are heritages from past! 
ages, while wood tars and other!
